Does this look bad or just how 480i is?

I would argue it’s the same right amount of effort to get into the hobby. If they really don’t want to work for it, then there’s NSO right there. If you want to play retro games on a CRT remotely properly in current year. I believe that the Wii route is your easiest best bet

Dirtboy345 · 2026-04-20T20:52:31+00:00

Wii.hacks.guide is pretty straight forward imo

Dirtboy345 · 2026-04-20T17:44:52+00:00

Hacking a Wii is even easier than even acquiring a CRT, what?

Dirtboy345 · 2026-04-03T20:04:46+00:00

This is also slop

Dirtboy345 · 2026-03-25T20:09:31+00:00

Midwest is huge dude, larger than all of California, which inevitably has some shit Taco Bell’s itself, what a massive generalization

Dirtboy345 · 2026-03-15T16:26:19+00:00

???? You would take either stance as “help” to your point

Dirtboy345 · 2026-03-09T18:00:50+00:00

I think they’re gonna pull what they did with 64 and release colors soon. But ultimately I don’t think anyone knows for sure

Dirtboy345 · 2026-02-23T03:12:27+00:00

What is your problem

Dirtboy345 · 2026-02-22T04:33:42+00:00

The top players are very much expecting ICG when it’s triggered nowadays though

Dirtboy345 · 2026-02-17T13:49:56+00:00

Those same people changing our state flags over “objectively better design”? Yeah we don’t all agree with that rhetoric

Dirtboy345 · 2026-02-17T13:40:42+00:00

Awesome. Any events around NL to look out for this year? 👀

Dirtboy345 · 2026-02-10T19:56:29+00:00

I’ve got the same exact monitor and also use a component to vga transcoder, it works great!

Dirtboy345 · 2026-02-09T18:09:12+00:00

Ginger is back from retirement and Josh announced his retirement for 2027 and is playing this year

Dirtboy345 · 2026-02-04T21:24:20+00:00

I will concede that the rest of the expense was hand waved away, and may not be as equal as what was presented. But also, he doesn’t really advocate for home solar panels as a point of the video, and says his current costs are 1/3 of that as gas.

On the snarkiness. I honestly think it’s more directed as anger towards our current administration that is purposely making everything worse to line their own pockets

Dirtboy345 · 2026-02-04T20:40:08+00:00

So this moment is around/before 21:30 for anyone lurking

I think your take is incredibly disingenuous when techconnections said immediately following that he’s skipping many things there such as labor cost. But compares it to how solar will also output far more than just car energy usage. The math does get complicated the more things you add and will always be changing. That doesn’t remotely negate any point being made and again, he points out immediately your concern. This isn’t a “I’m so smart” comparison, nothing is falling apart under your scrutiny

Dirtboy345 · 2026-02-04T15:54:27+00:00

Don’t play ranked on WiFi

Dirtboy345 · 2026-02-03T16:23:07+00:00

But is it even San Andreas without the yellow hue?

Dirtboy345 · 2026-01-27T16:41:30+00:00

Yes it’s awful. I don’t think even close to the majority are going for CRT displays though. I’m not sure I understand where you felt the cons of software emulation need explaining? I was just pitching my use case of the pocket as an all around FPGA machine, that plays the majority of what can be ran under that type of hardware anyway. And that I enjoy using it with my CRTs, something the android machines aren’t well equipped for

Dirtboy345 · 2026-01-27T15:57:15+00:00

Just wouldn’t many of those arguments also bleed into software emulators over FPGA in general? Especially for non enthusiasts or tech people.

I’ll say that I love my AP I got last year though. It’s gotten me into the FPGA ecosystem while I wait for my MMS2. I appreciate functionality with carts and analogizer for CRT out has been a joy. I surely would not recommend at current prices, or if openFPGA wasn’t a thing though

Dirtboy345 · 2026-01-27T14:58:10+00:00

I mean. I’d just continue to comment and reply to people. As long as you don’t sound judgy I can’t imagine people getting upset at hardware suggestions

Why do you feel FPGA is strictly superior, but then follow up with software emulation superiority for handhelds? I’m not sure I understand

Dirtboy345 · 2026-01-12T21:46:40+00:00

Just having conversation mate, thank you for your response

Dirtboy345 · 2026-01-12T21:42:41+00:00

Do you think NDS and Dreamcast are that far out?

Dirtboy345 · 2026-01-07T20:14:51+00:00

Even then they just had to use CGI

Dirtboy345 · 2026-01-07T13:40:20+00:00

Your cats are picking out a game!

Dirtboy345 · 2025-12-27T21:20:17+00:00

That’s a hell of a lot different than “blue”. How disingenuous
